Frankly, I find so much netflix-shows on netflix, but rarely good movies not produced by them.
I wanted to show my GF Star Wars... but it wasn't on it. Same for James Bond, Die hard 4, Oblivion, MI1, etc.
It's a shame, really. I would gladly pay 20$/month, but in this case, I want ALL available movies, not just some cherry-picked ones.
- alexandercrohde 8y agoHonestly when it comes to movies instead of shows I find it's likely cheaper to rent 3 movies/month than subscribe to netflix. And I get to watch the movies I care about.
- Faaak 8y agoWhich services do you use ?
- baron816 8y agoNetflix still has its classic DVDs by mail business, which is still a great deal when you think about what it used to be like renting movies. Or you could rent movies via streaming. Netflix isn’t trying to kill Blockbuster anymore. It’s trying to kill cable/network TV, where they have their own content, but also air reruns and a few movies.
- Faaak 8y agoI could rent, on go on other service, but you have to agree that it's way simpler to go on a pirate site and download a movie.

FWIW, for watching arbitrary "not on Netflix" movies, Youtube is actually a surprisingly good option. Their "pay to rent movie" service has a pretty deep catalog, and an awful lot of their choices seem to be in the $2.99 - $7.99 or so range. It's quite often I want to watch something that's not on Netflix and find it on YT for, say, $4.99. I don't mind paying that a couple of times a month, on top of what I pay Netflix.
